Flight: Song of Praise Series

Click on each thumbnail image for a larger view and more in-depth description.

The series FLIGHT: SONGS OF PRAISE incorporates imaginative birds, whose early morning sounds seem to be one long, continuous song which becomes a metaphor for the constant praising of God. In the Jewish synagogue service, prayers of praise are repeated over and over again in variations that parallel the repetitive songs of birds. Known in various traditions as harbingers or messengers for good things to come, birds can symbolize a positive or joyful way to face life challenges, some known and some not known, that may come our way. Their songs and our prayers give us hope.
